Dimethiconol
Dimethiconol is a synthetic based polymer that is made in laboratories. It consists of polymer chains formed by dimethyl siloxy monomers.
Dimethiconol is widely used in skin care and hair care formulations as it also enhances the texture and makes the products easy to spread.
It acts as a conditioning agent and anionic emulsifier. Provides ease in wet- and dry combing.
